The goal of App Dev Schools is to have a look at developing apps for Ubuntu together. We made this a lot easier by providing presentation material and virtualbox images and instructions for how to run an event. If you have a bit of programming experience, it should be easy for you to run the sessions with just a bit of preparation time.

Why is this exciting and probably a good idea to discuss in the team? Simple: it has never been easier to write apps for Ubuntu and publish them. You can choose between Qt/QML apps and HTML5 apps – both are easy to put together and packaging/publishing an app is a matter of a couple of a clicks. Awesome!

Check out the Ubuntu Global Jam page and find out how have your own local event. If it’s just you and a couple of friends meeting up – don’t worry – it’s still a jam!
